Larsa Pippen has confirmed her relationship with former basketball player Jeff Coby, and the couple is turning heads with their affectionate displays in public. The 50-year-old star of "The Real Housewives of Miami" was recently seen enjoying a romantic outing with Coby, 31, in Miami, where they showcased their chemistry with some serious PDA.
On Sunday, April 13, 2025, the couple was spotted sharing a kiss and wrapping their arms around each other inside a parking garage, effectively quelling any lingering doubts about their relationship status. This public display of affection comes just weeks after rumors began swirling about their romance, which reportedly kicked off in March when they were seen holding hands at fellow cast member Marysol Patton’s birthday celebration.
At Patton’s belated 58th birthday party held at the upscale Maple & Ash restaurant, Pippen and Coby made their first public appearance as a couple, where they were described as looking "really happy" together. An insider noted that Pippen was "glowing" in Coby's presence, which set the tone for their budding romance.
Jeff Coby, who stands at 6-foot-8, is not just a pretty face; he has a background in basketball that includes playing for Columbia University and a brief stint with the New York Knicks in 2018. After that, he played professionally overseas in Spain and Japan. While he may not currently be signed to a team, his athletic background has certainly caught the attention of fans and media alike.
This new relationship marks a significant shift for Pippen, who has been navigating the complexities of her love life since her split from Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan. Pippen and Jordan had a tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship that lasted from 2022 until their final breakup in July 2024. Their romance was frequently scrutinized, especially by Michael Jordan, who publicly expressed disapproval.
In an interview, Larsa Pippen reflected on her past relationship with Jordan, stating, "I think from my last relationship, it was so public that in this chapter of my life, I want to keep certain things to myself and not be so overly open because it just didn’t work out well for me." This sentiment seems to resonate as she embarks on a new chapter with Coby.
Despite her desire for privacy, Pippen has not shied away from showing affection for Coby. Images obtained by Page Six captured the couple in a tender moment, with Pippen dressed casually in a gray sports bra and black track pants, accessorized with a gold chain. Coby, on the other hand, opted for a more relaxed look in sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
While Pippen and Coby have been dating exclusively for several months, they are reportedly taking things slow and have not moved in together yet. This measured approach may be a reflection of Pippen's desire to keep her personal life more private this time around.
The couple's romance has certainly caught the attention of fans and media, with many curious about how their relationship will unfold. As they continue to navigate their personal lives under the public eye, it remains to be seen how Pippen will balance her desire for privacy with her newfound happiness.
In the past, Pippen's relationships have often been scrutinized. Her marriage to NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen lasted over two decades and produced four children: Scottie Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia. After their split, she was linked to several high-profile figures, including rappers Future and Tristan Thompson, before her relationship with Jordan.
As for Coby, he seems to have stepped into the spotlight with ease, enjoying his time with Pippen and the attention that comes with dating a reality TV star. The couple's chemistry is undeniable, and they appear to be enjoying this new phase of their lives together.
While neither Pippen nor Coby has officially commented on their relationship status beyond the affectionate displays, the public's interest in their romance is palpable. With Pippen's history of high-profile relationships, fans are eager to see how this one will play out.
As they continue to make appearances together, the couple's relationship will likely remain a topic of conversation among fans of "The Real Housewives of Miami" and beyond. For now, Pippen seems content to embrace her new romance while keeping certain aspects of her life under wraps.
In this age of social media and constant scrutiny, Larsa Pippen appears to be taking a more cautious approach to her love life, yet she is not afraid to show her happiness with Jeff Coby. Whether this romance will stand the test of time remains to be seen, but for now, the couple is enjoying their time together in the vibrant city of Miami.
